Interpersonal Skills and Working Effectively Assignment 2022

Interpersonal skills and working effectively
Communication is an essential skill when it comes to group work.
Generally, communication involves assisting team members and updating
them on their roles and duties they are supposed to undertake. As a
group, we have social media platform such as messenger, Facebook and
WhatsApp that assist to facilitate effective communication in order to find
out what group members are intended to do in regard to the combined
group assignment. Despite communicating through social media
platforms, we usually meet physically more often at the university and
discuss face to face each individual role towards completion of the
assignment. Generally, it was challenging to combine ideas of how to
have some open discussions between the group and how to run the group
effectively although we managed to come up with a combined solution.
Group members showed a positive attitude towards a group working
process as it effectively created the assignment plan and encouraged
each other to adhere to group policies. Furthermore, we trusted our
strong positive relationship, trusted each other with his or her roles and
responsibilities and by the end we had no issue at all when carrying out
our tasks and duties. With all team members being good listeners when it
comes to team performance, we created a room for members to
contribute their ideas, we selected the best ideas from members and
finally had a group decision making an agreement.
Values
Our group has four members. Member A who is an Australian is a
third-year student studying business program. She has a nice character
and she is so helpful to the group. Furthermore, her interest is on high
performances, athlete analysis and she plays cricket. In addition, the
group member has strong respect to diversity for all group members and

she sees value to all team members regardless of religion, ethnic, race
and gender.
Member C and B are Thai people. Their characters are kind and
amiable as they never offend other group members. Both member C and
B are in their second year at the university studying a program in Sports
management. In high school, member C and B used to study sports and
therefore they end up developing an interest in athlete development. Just
like group member A, both member C and B are also respective to
diversity for group members as they are friendly to everyone and
understand them instead of confronting. For example, when making a
decision of who is going to present the introduction, we all have a group
decision and give a chance to a member who feels comfortable with the
decision. We never force a member to do what he or she feels not
satisfied or comfortable with.
In my group, all team members showed respect to the group
decision and my ideas. Furthermore, members were very supportive as
they assisted me to feel relaxed and comfortable when I faced a challenge
of pronouncing words correctly.
Leveraging Group member skills
On my own view, I can conclude that group members have skills and capabilities that
enhance group performances. In my group, we walked through the assignment together as a
team before we made a decision of dividing diverse parts to different team members. In
addition, we created and developed a way of sharing information and get it updated to us.
This acted as an example of how we are leveraging the strengths of group members before we
start filming. We communicated with each group member and further asked questions which
were related to the film. Some questions such as who will be comfortable with recording,
who will edit the video, worked out great and provided a good updated on the work progress.
Member B and C were recording and editing the film from the start to the end while I was
doing the video edit. On the other side, member A was checking mistakes in the content for
quality assurance and further communicating to the entire group on the updates and progress
of the work.
